Dr. Amir Q. Salam, MD

"Dr. Salam and his staff are amazing! He formed a great team of doctors to treat my husband. He explained everything in layman’s terms to him and welcomed questions from both of us. He and/or his office called me daily when he was hospitalized to make sure he was well taken care of! His chemo nurse, Shannon, is the bomb! Thanks to this team, my husband is in remission!"

"I highly recommend Doctor Salam to any one who is finding themselves with a cancer diagnosis ! He is caring , full of compassion, honesty, and respect ! My association with him has been extraordinary and his staff will be there for you as well ! He has a gift for communicating with the patient and explaining things in layman terms !"

"Dr. Salam is one of the most caring and concerned oncologists I have interacted with. I was the caregiver for one of his patients who had liver cancer. He never stopped offering hope to his patient and would always offer different pathways for his treatment. If you have cancer, I highly recommend that you contact Dr. Salam for treatment. He is excellent!"

"Personally, I had a very bad overall experience. At the time of my visit, Dr. Salam was with Oncology Consultants. Dr. Salam himself is capable, but I think the root of my problem lies with how his support staff or Oncology Consultants deal with insurance claims. I’ve never had a problem with insurance claims before my visit, but the test Dr. Salam recommended cost near $3000. This money came out of my own pocket because insurance partially denied it and Dr. Salam’s or Oncology Consultants’ offices didn’t provide all that my insurance was looking for to support the claim for appeal/approval. Calls weren’t always returned in a manner I'd consider timely and progress (if you can call it that since the test still hasn’t been covered) was very slow. I would not recommend. I get insurance is probably tough to deal with but I think it’s part of the office’s job to know how to deal with them so the tests they recommend are covered. At the very least, they should give the patient a heads-up if a particular test may be contentious with insurance. Instead, I visited Texas Oncology. The doctor at Texas Oncology didn’t see the need for the next step Dr. Salam was suggesting and took a different approach. All tests recommended from them have gone through insurance and have been covered. Texas Oncology is a good alternative to look at in my opinion."

"Dr. Salam has been an inspiration to me during my year long cancer treatment process. I was always comfortable with any questions or concerns about treatment or surgery and felt he always gave me choices that where tailor made for my particular situation .He made me feel as though I .had a friend in my corner and I am happy to say I have made a full recovery."
